Umnikelo Wecala
1 “ ‘Le yimithetho ephathelene lomnikelo wecala, oyiwo ongcwele kakhulu. 2 Umnikelo wecala kufanele uhlatshelwe endaweni lapho umnikelo wokutshiswa ohlatshelwa khona, njalo igazi lawo kufanele lichelwe emaceleni wonke e-alithare. 3 Wonke amahwahwa awo azanikelwa: umsila ononileyo kanye ledanga elembesa ezangaphakathi, 4 izinso zombili lamahwahwa azo aseduzane lesinqe, lamahwahwa aphezu kwesibindi, okufanele kukhutshwe lezinso. 5 Umphristi uzakukutshisela e-alithareni njengomhlatshelo wokudla onikelwa kuThixo. Kungumnikelo wecala. 6 Wonke owesilisa emulini yomphristi angakudla, kodwa kufanele kudlelwe endaweni engcwele; ngoba kungcwele kakhulu.
7 Umthetho munye uyasetshenziswa emnikelweni wesono kanye lemnikelweni wecala. Ungowomphristi owenza kube lendlela yokubuyisana labo. 8 Umphristi onikela umnikelo wokutshiswa kabani lobani angazigcinela isigogo. 9 Wonke umnikelo wamabele ophekelwa eziko, loba ophekelwa embizeni, loba embizeni yensimbi ungowomphristi owunikelayo, 10 njalo wonke umnikelo wamabele oyabe uhlanganiswe lamafutha loba womile, wonke ungowamadodana ka-Aroni ngokulinganayo.’ ”
Umnikelo Wobudlelwano
11 “ ‘Le yimithetho ephathelene lomnikelo wobudlelwano umuntu angawunikela kuThixo:
12 Nxa unganikelwa njengendlela yokubonga, kumele lumnikelo wokubonga unikelwe ndawonye lesinkwa esenziwe singelamvubelo sahlanganise lamafutha, amakhekhe ayizicecedu enziwe engelamvubelo njalo egcotshwe ngamafutha, kanye lamakhekhe efulawa ecolekileyo avutshwe kuhle ahlanganiswa lamafutha. 13 Umnikelo wakhe wobudlelwano ongowokubonga kumele unikelwe ndawonye lomnikelo wezinkwa ezenziwe ngemvubelo. 14 Kufanele alethe okukodwa komhlobo munye ngamunye njengomnikelo onikelwa kuThixo. Ungowomphristi ochela igazi lomnikelo wobudlelwano. 15 Inyama yomnikelo wakhe wobudlelwano ingeyokubonga, kumele idliwe ngalelolanga inikelwa. Akumelanga eyinye isalele elakusasa.
16 Kodwa nxa umnikelo wakhe ungenxa yokugcwalisa isifungo loba ungumnikelo wesihle, umhlatshelo lowo uzadliwa ngalelolanga lokuwunikela, kodwa okuyabe kusele kungadliwa ngelanga elilandelayo. 17 Yonke inyama yomhlatshelo esalayo kuze kwedlule insuku ezintathu kufanele itshiswe. 18 Nxa kulenyama yomnikelo wobudlelwano engadliwa ngelanga lesithathu, lowo oyinikeleyo kasoze amukeleke. Ayisoze ibalelwe kulowo oyinikeleyo, ngoba ingahlambulukanga. Umuntu odla enye yayo uzakuba lomlandu ngayo.
19 Inyama ethinta loba yini engcolileyo ngokomkhuba akumelanga idliwe; kumele itshiswe. Kodwa eyinye inyama ingadliwa yiloba ngubani ohlambulukileyo ngokomkhuba. 20 Kodwa nxa kulomuntu ongcolileyo angadla inyama yomnikelo wobudlelwano engekaThixo, lowomuntu kumele axotshwe ebantwini bakibo. 21 Nxa kulomuntu othinta okuthile okungcolileyo, akukhathalekile kumbe kuyikungcola komuntu loba okwenyamazana loba okunye nje okungcolileyo, okwenyanyekayo, abesesidla inyama yomnikelo wobudlelwano engekaThixo, lowomuntu kumele axotshwe ebantwini bakibo.’ ”
Ukudla Amahwahwa Legazi Akuvunyelwa
22 UThixo wathi kuMosi, 23 “Tshela abako-Israyeli uthi: ‘Lingaze ladla amahwahwa enkomo, awezimvu loba awembuzi. 24 Amahwahwa enyamazana ezifeleyo loba edatshulwe yizilo zeganga angasetshenziswa kokunye, kodwa akumelanga liwadle. 25 Umuntu odla amahwahwa enyamazana okungenziwa ngayo umnikelo wokutshiswa kuThixo kumele axotshwe ebantwini bakibo. 26 Njalo lingadli igazi lenyoni loba inyamazana yiphi kuzozonke izindawo elihlala kuzo. 27 Nxa umuntu esidla igazi, lowomuntu kumele axotshwe ebantwini bakibo.’ ”
Isabelo SabaPhristi
28 UThixo wathi kuMosi, 29 “Tshela abako-Israyeli uthi: ‘Umuntu oletha umnikelo wobudlelwano kuThixo kumele alethe ingxenye yawo njengomhlatshelo wakhe kuThixo. 30 Kumele anikele ngezandla zakhe umhlatshelo wokudla kuThixo. Kumele alethe amahwahwa, ndawonye lesifuba, abesezunguza isifuba phambi kukaThixo njengomnikelo wokuzunguza. 31 Umphristi uzatshisa amahwahwa e-alithareni, kodwa isifuba ngesika-Aroni kanye lamadodana akhe. 32 Kumele uphe umphristi umlenze wesokunene eminikelweni yakho yobudlelwano ube ngumnikelo wakho. 33 Indodana ka-Aroni enikela igazi lamahwahwa omnikelo wobudlelwano izathola umlenze wesokunene njengesabelo sayo. 34 Ngithethe isifuba esizunguzwayo kanye lomlenze onikelwayo emnikelweni wobudlelwano wabako-Israyeli ngapha u-Aroni umphristi kanye lamadodana akhe njengesabelo sabo sezikhathi zonke esivela kwabako-Israyeli.’ ”
35 Le yingxenye yemihlatshelo yokudla enikelwa kuThixo eyabelwa u-Aroni kanye lamadodana akhe ngelanga abethulwa ngalo ukuba basebenzele uThixo njengabaphristi. 36 Ngelanga abagcotshwa ngalo, uThixo walaya abako-Israyeli ukuthi banikele lokho njengasabelo sabo sezikhathi zonke kuzizukulwane ezizayo.
37 Le-ke yiyo imithetho emayelana lomnikelo wokutshiswa, umnikelo wamabele, umnikelo wesono, umnikelo wecala, umnikelo wokugcotshwa lomnikelo wobudlelwano, 38 uThixo awupha uMosi entabeni yeSinayi ngelanga alaya ngalo abako-Israyeli ukuthi balethe iminikelo yabo kuThixo, enkangala yaseSinayi.
